Unknown mhz AMD #1 score

[mbrock]

I do not know what is up with the unknown mhz thing but My AMD CPU @ 192X10.5 busted 16k. Shame this 9700 will not do 200 on the FSB.

#1 AMD Score 16014 (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4466873)

I was so close!!! lol you and your 9700 damm you, lol. very nice I have mine here and I volt/modded It last night lets see If I get lucky and run it on my 200mhz bus.... "finger crossed". myti4600 is far passed maxed out same for cpu and mem(limited by max cpu speed). so I had to get the 9700, but congrat's mr. 1st. to 16k and on to 17k you go, but Ill be right behind you playing catch up..

also you have more than one score on the orb :) you have first you don't need third too, lol.

[mbrock]

Hopefully I will get around to adding my mcw40t to the gpu tonight to see how far I can push this card without the vot mod.

qwerty57: be sure and wave at me if you pass me up:banana:

[qwerty57]

I will if i do.. also i just saw you have more than one score on the orb still if oyu wanna delete the 15,825 one that would be cool makes me look not so good :)

[Chong345]

mbrock,
I'm going to test my mcw40-t as well. Let me know how yours goes if you do it tonight. I won't do mine until saturday.

Chong:D

[mbrock]

Chong345
I had my mcw40t since it first came out. I can already tell you that it does an excellent job of cooling.

qwerty57
Sorry I missed that one. i will delete it ASAP.

[qwerty57]

cool thanks.. and another "clap" congrat.

[Chong345]

No I mean I have had mine as well. But I want to know how well it works on the Radeon with the way the core is designed etc. I have yet to pull off the heatspreader. I'm just curious of any issues you might run into. Let me know. Good Luck!

Chong.:D

[Hardass]

Nice work, mbrock:toast:

[mbrock]

I ran a razor blade across the spreader/gpu last night when I applied AS3 for the stock HSF and they looked even to me. The thin coat of AS3 left a nice pattern on the sink. I will see tonight I guess. If I need to remove the spreader how would i go about that? they look like they are made together.

[N8]

Very well done, mbrock! Congrats 2 ya :)

[Marci]

If u haven't already, drop it to 2x AGP and u should get 200FSB... worked for the one I have here...

[sysfailur]

Randi has been dethroned ;)

[mbrock]

No , I am just keeping his seat warm until he gets a 9700

[qwerty57]

Ive got mine (9700) here in front of me volt/modded but what to do about this heatspreader is the question? any thought's.... Is it on there really good? Ive seen ATI use yellow elmers glue in the past on my 8500 to hold the HS on,lol...

[mbrock]

Alittle Better

[qwerty57]

what ram do you have? can your ram handle the 200x10? or you get no post at all? also that heatspreader did you get it off? nice score by the way.. but your going to need more than that when me and Mr.Icee come for ya, lol

[mbrock]

Corsair PC3000, No I am benching at 193X10.5 right now. I can boot into windows at 200X10 but it is not stable for the 9700

[Creative]

qwerty likes that heatspreader :p

Just leave it on dood, its there for a reason. If its the one I think you mean, that silver bit down near the monitor connectors on the back of the card, then its under all the capaistors keeping them kinda cool....pretty straight forward...:)

Stop stressing about it :D
hehehe

[qwerty57]

thanks you know me play stuff out untill its old :) just want to be 100% sure before I install the hs on it ya know? check twice do it once kinda thing thats all. thanks appreciate it.

[MrIcee]

Marty:)

Excellent job my man !! You always get the most out of your system even when you are at cpu Mhz deficit to the others benching. Congrats to my Dear friend:toast:

Sys and others...I have not been dethroned;)

I have not posted scores because of unfortunate family matters this week...but I can assure you I still have the fastest current AMD system on the planet:) Yes...Marty is correct...on the KX7 the 9700 does NOT like the AGP bus when FSB is 200 or higher...and right now its a toss up of point loss due to 2X AGP or running at 188Mhz max on my system with all bandwidth tweaks including Que depth 2. Again...this is sucking for AMD systems...as our equilizer has been the ability to run high bandwidth via 200Mhz+ FSB and max timings. I am relegated to 188Mhz because of needing to use a multi to achieve highest cpu MHZ. Dropping .5x puts me up where the Radeon will not function.

I achieved 387Mhz core by just removing the factory TIM and replacing it with a healthy dose of AS3. Memory totally sucks and is maxed at 340Mhz. I clamped on my CPUFX GF4 silver plated copper block to the Radeon without issue. I've benched "some" games at 410Mhz in this fashion on just -30c chilled coolant, no pelts as usual...and mind you...I have NOT done any volt mods yet:D

As soon as I'm satisfied with my benching I'll post up a score:)

Randi:D

[qwerty57]

we never doubted you randi :) same as Opp Im sure when ever you want to be #1 and #2 both of you would be...

[Wolf]

That's pretty sad that the 9700 Pro wont run over 80mhz agp speed. Dammit, I wanted this card to be good but with the 8xagp problem and the agp bus speed limitation it looks like nvidia has a chance to smoke ATI with the NV30 if they ever get it to release. Plus the memory overcloks are just plain disappinting also. I also noticed when I was playing around with a few 8500 they take to volt mods pretty badly and I even had one actually catch fire in my case when I gave it too much voltage. They aren't near as resilant as the gf cards IMO. Time to buy that Best BUy replacement warranty if you get this card. :D

This is true, I knew that MrIcee has something up his sleeve ;) Like an awesome core 9700 ;)

I don't have a 9700 yet.... but I did get to hold one for about a minute! Hahah :P

[Creative]

MrIcee I am having the same probs with my 9700 with the intel machine. I can run it with the 37/74 lock but if I try the 44/88 lock the PC wont even boot...:(

I still havnt worked out how to take off the HS yet. I am still waiting for somone to give me a good description. I use tweezers to push the clips together like a Nvidia card but that doesnt work?

380 with default everything, I am itching to see what she can do modded :D

[mbrock]

Just a bit better

Use small pliers to pull out the center pins first.

[Chong345]

nice score!

whats the card clocked at?

Chong

[mbrock]

405/350
Should hit 17k tonight or Monday. If I can get the thing to run at 195 FSB.

[MrIcee]

Nice benching Marty:toast:

Creative...as MBrock said...pull the center pins out of the clips first...once out you can now squeeze the clips from the back of the card and push them thru.Once thru its just a matter of lifting the HSF off..which means a little twist and lift to break the seal of the factory TIM(thermal interface material).

Busted 17k

Next step put an AMD on the front page.

[qwerty57]

so what happened to the 193mhz fsb being the limited factor? lol very nice keep the scores going...

[sysfailur]

Geeze, your cpu isn't even running _that fast_. I need to get my hands on a 9700. :P

[mbrock]

Under 2100mhz:banana: Just shows that AMD rules clock for clock.

Yeah seriously.

[Creative]

MBrock and MrIceee, many many thanks for that bit of info. :)

Im going to have another go today. Ambients are down to 17 today from 21 yesterday so hopefully I can get it all happening today before it gets hot again...:)

Fingers crossed that my core isnt way way lower than the outer square bit :p

[mbrock]

That is it for tonight. Close to the front page 200mhz Monday maybe. for some reason powerstrip is only giving me a max GPU clock of 430 . what is up with that?

17379 (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4493609) :banana: Go AMD Go

[Creative]

MBrock that is a pretty impressive score for AMD dood....I was just comparing yours to mine and you KILL me in the vid card tests cos of that higher OC...:D Now the challenge is for me to get this card higher and see if I can get 130fps on Nature like you :banana:

Congrats...:)

[qwerty57]

mbrock did you try the new powerstrip?

[qwerty57]

M> what cpu and cooling are you using? 2200+?H20?

I have found with the new version beta 127 I think it is from the Sticky thread above, that no problems occur with overclocking resetting etc.

Give it a go fellas if you havnt already...:)

[mbrock]

Is there one newer than 3.26 It was showing higher clocks but not now. Yes it is a 2200 + H2O and several bags of ice.

[Creative]

mbrock, grab this version on powerstrip.
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/psbeta.exe

No prob whatsoever after 5-6 hours os using, whereas with the previous one, Id lose the ability to OC the core after 2 hours...:)

This one delivers the goods :D

[MrIcee]

Creative:)

I've been using that Powerstrip beta today...but the highest clock it gives me is 431Mhz. I frigged around with the Rage overclocker and got as high as I wanted...but with both proggies installed , even O/Cing my mem with PStrip was screwing up my memory...lines and all that crap.

OPP...if you're reading this...I see you're getting over 500Mhz on PStrip...are you using Pilsy's method or did you discover another fix?? My beta is reverting to lower clocks like the original version.

Marty...damn nice job my man:toast: You've almost caught me;) I'm needing to get an O/C program that works satisfactorily soon...this PStrip tho the best is still a pain in the arse when you got a card that will clock higher than 431:)

Randi:D

[OPPAINTER]

MrIcee,

I had to resort to Pilsy's method, good thing he came up with it. Works great for me, my mem is stuck on stupid with or without the Rage Tweak proggy:D

Dont you hate it when your hardware takes up with a mind of its own :rolleyes:

mrbock,

Very nice scores! Keep up the great work :)

MrIcee,

Good luck, looking fwd to seeing you back in action :D

[mbrock]

This is it until I get PowerStripto show me more than 431mhz GPU clockl.17624 (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4500763)

[qwerty57]

your sick my friend:banana: so whatever happened to the 80mhz bus thing?

[Creative]

After trying to get a block onto the card I found the core is infact a little lower than the shim so I dont know what to do guys...:(

I dont want to rip that shim off so how else can i get the core to be higher? I dont want to lap that shim either cos all the shavings will fall onto the card......looks like I just may have to rip that shim off...:(

And now that they say the swiftech vid card block will be made in 1/2' fittings....I have to have it now!!!!! :banana:
hehehehe

I just put the default HS back on and a thick pile of AS3 and Im getting 382 on the core now up from 375...:):)

[Chong345]

I might have to use a thick pile of AS3 next time I bench. There is like a whole corner of the chip that is not making contact with my 80W pelt. So far I maxed out at about 435 with chilled water and 1.92V on the core. :(.
